Yesterday, for the very first time in my life, I stared at the title “Star Wars” long enough to break it away from all childhood and cognitive associations to see it for what it really is: Utterly ridiculous. I broke it down for you in the title of this post. It’s a war–in the stars! [...]

PLOTTING A SERIAL WEBCOMIC, PART 1 – WHAT’S IN A MEAL?
by Brock Heasley on September 13th, 2011Webcomics are not made for serial storytelling. A lot of people are going to disagree with me on this point, but it’s my contention that if you don’t acknowledge that basic reality, you will not be able to successfully make a serial webcomic. Fact is, readers of webcomics don’t read every day (or every day [...]

I even had some of the characters worked out. But what to do with them? In the fall of 2006, I spent a few minutes jotting down whatever came to [...]

I didn’t have anything to say, just gags. And that’s the key to serialization (for me): something to say. An idea like superheroes in a nursing home is [...]
